GOAL:
How to obtain the process ID (PID) of a 4GL client
FACT(s) (Environment):
HP-UX 11 64-bit
IBM AIX
Progress 9.1C 64 bit
Progress 9.1D 64 bit
OpenEdge 10.x
FIX:
There are various types of 4GL clients, for example:
- 4GL client TTY mode
- 4GL client batch mode
- 4GL client running as a WebSpeed agent
- 4GL client running as an AppServer server process
Sometimes, you might need, for logging or debugging purposes, to get the PID of the 4GL client that executes a particular program.
For further information on the getpid function or on other UNIX functions, refer to your UNIX documentation.
The code is as follows:
DEFINE VARIABLE ppid AS INTEGER NO-UNDO.
PROCEDURE getpid EXTERNAL "usr/lib/pa20_64/libc.2" CDECL:
DEFINE RETURN PARAMETER ppid AS LONG NO-UNDO.
END PROCEDURE.
RUN getpid(OUTPUT ppid).
MESSAGE ppid.
